In the intervention program for children with autism and stunting, The most important goals are two: [Self-care] and [Social Intercourse]. Judging from the combination and distribution of nine aspects of children’s development: Self-care is approximately equal to: Big Motion + Fine Motion + Understanding + Rules of Behavior. Social interaction is about equal to: Cognition + understanding + expression + social experience. Children’s abilities are differentiated. Generally speaking, The better the autistic children develop the above abilities, The greater his radius of motion, In other words, The more things they can accomplish. In fact, Autism is a group of pedigree disorders with similar symptoms but different limitations on children’s abilities. Children with different abilities, After training the day after tomorrow, The level of function that can be achieved is also different. Children with high-function autism are not low in ability, Generally, only proper intervention is required, You can go to an ordinary primary school, Learning and living with ordinary children, And there is some social interaction. If the intervention is good, They can easily basically acquire self-care and social skills. After the intervention of moderately functional autistic children, They have the ability to take care of themselves and some social skills. [Self-care] This goal is not very difficult, but social intercourse is much more difficult. After intervention, children with low-function autism can achieve a certain degree of self-care, which is already relatively successful. Why should they accept intervention? This part of the study is very necessary, It is of greater significance to parents. 1. It can reduce the burden of one’s body, economy and time. 2. It can reduce one’s pressure. Because if you can know at any time that your children are doing what, You don’t need to watch 24 hours a day. 3. Children who have recovered, It can even act as a small helper. There are many successful examples of autism recovery. For example, Tao Yang, the archetype of the movie “Ocean Paradise”, is a typical low-function autistic child. Under the premise of good sense of rules and self-care ability, he can let his mother not worry at all, but also maintain good relations with the people around him. Even after the death of his father who took care of him, he can take care of himself. What intervention should be carried out? Whether it is a special child or not, it is very necessary and of practical significance to establish a certain degree of self-care ability.
